Amazing experience. Very friendly people. The cabins in the wilderness were so cozy and well maintained. Bonfire in the middle of wilderness was a cherry on top.

Around mid-day on February 20th 2023 I went in to the Arctic Range business office in downtown Whitehorse and asked about an Aurora trip for that night (The forecast for Aurora was good--a KP5). I told the young lady my interest in the tour was photography. It turned out there was space available so I signed up. She explained that the tour was 4 hours long; approximately a half hour ride out of town, 3 hours on the site and a half ride back to town. I asked if the Aurora was especially active did they stay longer. A firm no. I asked if I could take my own vehicle and if the Aurora was active stay longer. Again a firm no. She asked me where I was staying and I told her--Skky Hotel near the airport. She told me twice that they would be there to pick me up at 10 minutes after 11. And she also told me to be in the lobby ready to go so there would be no delay in picking me up. I said I would be there and be ready and also repeated back to her the scheduled time; 10 after 11. Thinking they might be a little early I positioned myself in the hotel lobby at 10 minutes before 11. So 20 minutes ahead of the pickup time I was there with camera pack, tripod, dressed in cold weather clothing and ready to go. At 10 minutes after 11 no one had showed. At 1130 I called the Arctic Range phone number and got a recording. I left a message stating who I was, where I was and wondered where was my pickup. At 10 minutes until 12 I gave up waiting and went back to my room extremely irritated. Next day I went back down to the office. The same person from the day before told me that the driver went to the hotel but no one was waiting. That statement is absolutely untrue. The whole episode left a very bad feeling with me and also left me with the impression that Arctic Range does not have much of a commitment to their photographer clients. To make matters worse on Tuesday afternoon I was told the the Aurora was quite active the night before with colors and curtains in the early hours of Tuesday morning--the time when I would have been out with them had they done their job. The only thing good about this incident is that there was no issue on getting my money refunded.

sadly we did not see the lights as when we went it was cloudy the whole time. The staff was very friendly and they put on a presentation about aurora lights as well as a campfire to roast marshmallows. I was disappointed that we couldn't see it and we paid $130 each. I think it would have been nice if we could reschedule it but this company does not offer that.

A+ for Arctic Range Adventures! From punctual pick up to knowledgeable tour guides - Barbara, Shungo and Naomi, the experience over two-night tours was magical. The first night the aurora was faint, but the warm treats were appreciated as was roasting marshmallows in awesome tipis. The second night the Northern Lights did not disappoint and exceeded my expectations. Highly recommend this professional group of individuals for an unforgettable experience.

Aunque ver auroras depende de la naturaleza, el tour es muy pobre, no existe como tal un tour, o una explicación y mucho menos actividades recreativas que te generen una experiencia agradable. No lo recomiendo. Es como si sólo pagaras por el transporte. Los guias cero agradables y nunca hicieron un momento de convivencia. Demasiado aburrido y te genera mucha decepción sobre el viaje.

Loved everything about this tour!! Comfortable ride to viewing area and two warm dwelling areas to get out of elements and have a warm drink and cookies as desired. Provided benches and bag chairs to sit on outside, marshmallows for roasting on tbe fire. We had a wonderful Northern Lights viewing, ended up staying out over an hour extra. Definitely recommend!
